Tutti Rouge Sukki 2 Style (28-38 D-HH)

My favourite style of the season, Sukki! This is a 50s-inspired padded balconette, featuring black netting over a beige base, black piping over the cups, and black mesh panels on the briefs. Each strap connects at two points at the front, giving a very retro gate effect, and there is also a detachable strap which can be used to give a cage effect (shown in picture 2). Continue reading

Parfait by Affinitas Charlotte Padded Bra and High Waist Brief in Bronze (28-40 D-K, S-3XL)

First up, Parfait’s most famous style, the Charlotte! This season, shades of brown are absolutely everywhere, something I am really pleased to see. Most brown lingerie tends to be a cooler brown shade, so I really like this warm, rich bronze, and I think it looks really striking against the black piping details. Continue reading
